Concept of the Artist

Carsten Nicolai frequently uses geometrical, optical, ornamental structures, yet his works are not limited to explorations of form. He seeks to demonstrate the internal configuration of a form and reveal the physical processes and formulas that underlie different natural phenomena. The artist often bases his work on oscillation physics and converts frequencies into images or transforms acoustic signals into optical structures, thus making the invisible visible. In the exhibition Pionier, words uttered by Laurie Anderson are materialised as aluminium sculptures, burning gas in a transparent tube visualises the speed of acoustic waves, the usually unseen heat waves become visible with the help of light and shadow, while the video work demonstrates the phenomenon of stealth that resembles military technology to prevent detection of information.
